Duke Rape Case Defense: Throw Out DA Nifong and Photo ID
ABC ^ | May 1, 2006 | CHRIS CUOMO, ERIC AVRAM, and LARA SETRAKIAN

Posted on 05/01/2006 7:51:52 AM PDT by don'tbedenied

Accused Duke lacrosse player Reade Seligmann's attorneys want Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong thrown off the case.

Today, they filed a legal motion specifically asking for it.

"DA Mike Nifong neglected his duty as a prosecutor to seek the truth and a fair prosecution," the defense's motion reads.

The motions were filed just 24 hours before Nifong's Tuesday election in which he's fighting to keep his seat. Nifong is being challenged by former prosecutor Freda Black and private lawyer Keith Bishop

It's a good move. The lineup, as most of us agree already, was highly irregular. And the actions of the DA have been highly inflammatory and prejudicial. He clearly does not belong on his case anymore.

Has the second test come back yet?

I think it is suppose to come back on the 14th of this month. Or somewhere around that date.

Irrefutable proof that Nifong is delusional. Asked about today's defense motion to have him removed from the case, Nifong responded, "They're afraid to go up against me."

"I have lost count: how many ex-husbands does she have?"

LOL! We're soon going to lose count over how many false accusations she's made in her lifetime!

"Their way of trying a case in the media is not to call press conferences, but to simply file motions and court papers that contain outrageous or false statements and assume that people will report them as if they were facts," Nifong said."

As opposed to the way HE has handled the case? Where are HIS facts?

Isn't Scuse Me the one who said she was a kind, gentle person who didn't have a drinking problem?

In 2004 she filed a complaint with the Durham County Sheriff's Office against a nursing home where she worked briefly. As is her pattern, she dropped the complaint when the nursing home asked that she submit a criminal record in order to get paid. I bet she lied to the employer when hired, saying she had no prior arrests.

Didn't her mother say she was in a psych ward in 2005, something about "worrying about money?"

She's been a busy little litigant, hasn't she?

According to Newsweek, Nifong hinted to them a date rape drug was involved. Will that be proven true? What about the traumatic injuries the SANE report found? Will that turn out to be fact? What about Time magazine writing that prosecutors will say the 12:41 photo was the accuser arriving at the house? Will that be found to be a true fact? Nifong wouldn't know a fact if it bit him.
